Endothelial cells from separate cardiac lineages start off in distinct transcriptional states, but over the course of development converge into transcriptional and functional states which are unrelated to lineage and which are conserved between mouse and human.

The high-resolution structure of Rea1, an essential ribosome maturation factor in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, explains how the ATPase domain is regulated and reveals the linker domain, the mechanical element carrying out ribosome remodeling.
A novel regulatory step in the endocytic pathway, which occurs post-internalization, takes place at the trans-Golgi network and involves the arrestin-related protein Rod1 and the ubiquitin ligase Rsp5.
Bulk whole genome sequencing data can be used to study the genetic variation present in pathogenic bacterial populations over the time-course of a single infection within a host.

Super-resolution microscopy and single particle tracking analysis of Piezo1 in red blood cells demonstrate its ability to sense membrane curvature, consistent with a force-through-membrane mechanism of channel mechanosensation in these cells.
Yeast RNA helicase Ded1 stimulates ribosome recruitment of structure-laden native mRNAs in a reconstituted system by interactions between domains in Ded1 and initiation factor eIF4G that stabilizes a Ded1-eIF4F complex.
In the zebrafish relative Danio albolineatus, red erythrophores share a common progenitor with yellow xanthophores and require Cyp2ae2 and Bdh1a for accumulation of red ketocarotenoid pigment.
